Identify and discuss Trends and Opportunities in convergence (at least 2000 words with image/s)

 

Two is better than one. In a world where everything changes, I believe that one thing is in its best if it has several options of talents and ideas to present and battle with the others. Now, in this era where human minds are keep on competing among the other existing brilliant minds, to have a critical and logical thinking is an advantage. Before, those producers and we as consumers are contented and satisfied to the kind of living that we had. As time passes by, everything just seem to change and that is because of  the new trends and opportunities that has given to us by the union of technology and business. Maybe now and I believe until the succeeding days, everything will just seem to change for the development and advancement of our own living. Man can not stop from thinking. Everyday we used to think and create new forms of idea that could either be helpful or not, creative of destructive, negative or positive. In any way around, I always instill it to the way I think that in everything that we do, part of it will always be subjected to its own consequences. Let me share a thought and I learned it while still in my freshman year in high school. We have freedom. We have a choice. We have an option to choose. But included with this and will always be connected to it is the responsibility that we should carry after having a choice. For me it is such a sad fact to now that whenever we have to take decision, there would be many people that would offer their influences. So aggressive and arrogant others may be, but whenever the option has been made and that you have to carry the burden of making that choice there would be no one left. I know that it really relies and depends if a certain individual would have been affected or not. Again, this is just a shared thought from me. It is a sad fact that I will forever hate knowing that we have to survive until reaching the limit. Now, back on our “real” thing, let us talk more about the qualities of convergence.

 

 

 

Convergence as an opportunity

 

We had clearly discussed it for a couple of days now about the word “technopreneurship”. It is a compound word which may be defined and describe as a powerful tool to move forward. It is where technology meets business. It is where they both live together and creates million of Small Medium Enterprises which also has mounted the number of works and employment reaching to the happiness and joy of each individual.

“Technopreneurship”. I supposed that every time I’ve got to write an essay and answer a question this word would never be eradicated. Sometimes it makes me feel irritated whenever its being reiterated on and in again. But, what more else can I do? It is the same word and the same thing that makes up the totality of convergence. Whether I would be again irritated or not Technopreneurship will always bring a lifetime changes for each of our future’s advancement.

Advancement, this is I guess the word that best fit opportunity. Since we already engaged ourselves in technology we have lots of opportunities in making new way for our advancement. Technology is already existing, that is why what we we can do now is to continue some sort of research and discover new things and inventions. Of course we are not living in the past but rather building a new life for the future thereby stating that we have countless chances and opportunities of discovering several things. I believe that it is not only Bill Gates, it’s not only Steve Jobs and it is not even Guy Kawasaki that would be able to find new discoveries. Sooner or later these persons will pass and eventually leave everything to us, the future generation. But as what our mentors and the people like those that I had mention, they, I, or we should believe that we can do more than them We have better ideas, better innovation and better inventions. We in our own capabilities and potentials can replace them a hundred or even a thousand folds. It could have been one of my classmates, one of the people whom I just got acquainted with, the by passers or even ME (Laugh out loud). Well I am just trying to impose it to myself. There is no harm in trying anyway J yes, talking about it seriously we never know. Miracles happen. Opportunities come not just only for those who wear a coat and a tie and formal dresses. In my own understanding and belief, success is not for those who are already elite. For me we are all destined to be successful. I believe that those people such as those I had mentioned (Just like Bill Gates) started from scratch. Just like me or any other aspiring excellent technopreneur, we could also start from scratch and be successful.

As I was saying, there had been a lot of opportunities that this convergence had produced and will always be producing. Opportunity is juts there. Just like the technology, it already exists. We just have to dig on it more deeper then we can find its door for and open for a brand new beginning. No matter how hard we lose its still and will always be ok as long as we are willing to open doors of opportunity. I know, we would never run out of it. Grab it and start. I could have just imagined how plenty our opportunities are. If we are just to think that in a single business enterprise, there had been a lot of works and labors that had been made. What more if it is being associated with technology, right? But sad to note that some of them are those that we used while others are being wasted and juts got into the trash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Convergence as an trend

 

            For several years now, there had been a lot of inventions that and discoveries that that had been used and maximized by all or most of us. Innovations may always come and go and just continue to change. An example of which is the development of cellular phones. Before we have big, enormous and gigantic (for exaggeration purposes) devices for communication as well as the different machineries that is being used before. I could still remember that I was in grade five or grade six where I first experience having a cellular phone and it’s not mine. Before I am very much fascinated whenever we play some of its featured games and an example of which is the never ending “snake”. I just loved to play and play it for fun of course and for killing the time. Those reasons where just only good before but I guess now, its for nothing since even children aging from six years old onwards demands for a more challenging and playful game. A simple 2D animation with a not so exciting flash game would not satisfy and quench the interest of the wildest consumer.

 

Days and years had pass and now what we have is more and is very much innovated compared to the old times, When we talk about cellular phones, what we had before are games, SMS and a call service. But, what do we have now? Today, there exist several types of cell phones. Some of them are even named after some foods such as “ice cream and chocolate”. A simple SMS and call service before is replaced and is now almost a complete package for a single user. Now, we will not have a hard time in pushing all the key pads until it hurts. Thanks for the new trend now in iPod which offers multi touch and other amazing features. Not just only this device but as well as other devices. They all offer convenience for the consumer in away that it is lighter, smaller and bears more color.This what we have now, very much contrasting to what it is before. But even though we may think that what they had before I somehow know that it helped them but as easy as what we avail today. Just like any trend, any form of technology will have its death and ending. I could also have also related it to a social network site like twitter. Several topics are discussed but in the end  a trending topic will remain depending on the amount of users who participated in the discussion. The more tweets about the topic the stronger its survivability will be. Just like in technology or any form of venture associated with the advancement of technology, the duration of its existence will vary in relation to its consumer. The kind of trend that a certain company holds will surely depend on demands most especially to kind of living that we have now.

The emergence of one idea may lead to the existence of another. If one technopreneur had been generating then it might be that there would be another brain that will also generate another idea. It might be better or not. But there is just one thing that’s for sure, every idea, no matter how brilliant it may be but if in case that it does not satisfy the trend which demands the consumer, and then it will be less effective and efficient. Thus we can say that its survivability on the battle of technopreneurship is just short and limited. As the may ask, “ano ba ang uso?” I personally if given a chance to be a provider of idea and to generate trending topic I would make sure that it will fit well to the kind of industry I am in and to which field will I go. In this case we as a future technopreneur that will hold the future of the next generation should and must consider logical ideas. Now to end this let us all remember that to keep an idea on trend is to keep ourselves updated with the present technologies and inventions, to jump up the curve and to what is usual, to dare to take a move and make a difference and lastly is to defy for the a single norm for advancement.

 

 

 

Convergence as a challenge

 

 

Being united is not that easy. Again having this step is a risk to consider and I pretty well know that it will not happen as fast as the blink of an eye. I suppose that there are still several things to consider and that includes the responsibilities that lies with in. Aside that convergence is highly defined as an opportunity and as trend, much more than it, convergence is to be considered as a challenge to conquer. It is much as the other two definitions since it all comprises its totality. If in the very first place we would not consider it as a challenge to take, we will never experience it as an opportunity and as a trend to jump off. To converge and to unite with another business idea is vulnerable to any form of alteration which includes plans. This is why convergence is labeled as a challenge since it does not only talks on the technicality of the business but as well as in making and doing a good relationship to the people whom you or we are to work with. What I am trying to point here is that our ability to settle situation and manage our emotion is again included in making our own convergence in each of our life. Again better than any other else, convergence is to be conquered. But even if it happens for this or not, what we can do is just simply be strong and accept the things that a single or multiple convergences may cause. All of these things may come true if we choose to pursue it.

 

 

That is true because this is life! Let us continue empowering the country. GOD BLESSES US ALL.
